Any suspension of three weeks or more would rub Inu out of contention for the New Zealand side to face Australia in the April 19 Test in Canberra.

Many believe Inu should have been sent straight from the field for the tackle after he put his had between Inglis’ legs and drive him into the ANZ Stadium turf.

Former champion halfback and Fox Sports commentator Greg Alexander said: "That is as bad a dangerous throw as I've seen for a number of years.

"Generally when we see blokes in the air now (the tackler) realises they are in a bad position and they let the bloke go. They will argue that Inglis was actually pushing forward off that other leg but mate he landed on the point of his head with some force."

Even Des Hasler didn't disguise the fact the tackle was ugly and Inu is clearly in strife, after the game.

"Well it didn't look too good," he pointed out. "Krisnan has an impeccable record and he is not that kind of player so we will wait and see now just how it is graded. The way the gradings are going we might get off lightly."

The Sea Eagles' Brenton Lawrence also faces a one-match suspension for a dangerous throw on the Wests Tigers' Blake Ayshford but Lawrence can escape suspension if he enters the early plea.

The Gold Coast’s Luke Bailey was charged with contrary conduct with a match official but won’t miss a game if he enters a guilty plea, while Brisbane’s skipper Sam Thaiday is up for a one-match ban for grabbing a match official’s shirt in the Broncos' loss to Melbourne.
